The lines of the sculpture twist and turn, tracing the shapes made by a dancing spirit as it leaps through the air.

Peter was runner-up in the 8th NAMA (National Arts Merit Awards) competition, and his entry earned a Special Mention.

Lemon Opal Stone is the local Zimbabwean name for a translucent pale green serpentine stone. It is of a similar hardness to springstone (i.e. a lot harder than what is known as common opal stone, which scratches easily like soapstone). It does NOT contain opals - beware of other sites whose ignorance leads them to suggest that it does, or that it is semi-precious. It's nice stone, but not that nice!
